I have been looking for a while for a series that would capture me from the beginning. I have seen too many shows that had great starts but quickly started to deteriorate after the first season. I found it in this show. Great acting, good action, an enjoyable pace and depth in character development. I binged this over a few weeks and for me it is fine that it stops after 3 seasons.
Yet this doesn't qualify as a masterpiece for me, like the original Vikings. The plot is well written, but there are a few plot holes to discover. Furthermore, the 3rd season and ending felt like a little bit rushed and maybe even unsatisfying. If they would've stretched out the 3rd season into 2 seasons, I think they would've been able to do the series more right.
Long story short: If you are looking for a very enjoyable series about the viking age with some great acting, this is the show to watch!
